Felt it in Santa Cruz. about 150 miles away. It was a pretty soft jolt by then, enough so I wasn't 100 percent sure that it was a real quake. But the timing was just right, in retrospect.
Sorry for those who've been hurt or killed or had their houses damaged. Fortunately, that area's mostly pasture land, cattle, and the odd vineyard, so it could have been a lot worse. Had the epicenter been 100 miles further south or north, the story might have been even worse.
